There is a post on Reddit that claims the Surface Pro 3 battery should maintain 80% of it's life for up to 4.5 years.
They also wrote that they will replace the battery for $200 if you want to replace the battery out of warranty.

Not sure a Reddit post is binding, so, if that's all true and stays true for the useful life of the device, then that's great and then future battery replacement is not an major issue for the Surface Pro 3.
Sounds like they must have made some repairability improvements if they can now replace the battery for $200 vs $440 on the older Surface models.
